Reach for a Star

"A Shiny Christmas Star: An Old West Christmas Trilogy " is the title of my friend, Steven Douglas Glover's, first published book. The flavor of the old West, a hint of romance, and a touch of O. Henry, combine for interesting reading that just makes you want to curl up in front of the fire and read. This delightful little book makes a great stocking stuffer, a hostess gift, or send it instead of a get-well card. But first, sit down and read it yourself, you'll be happy you did. It is available from Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.com.

Read the Publisher's review of the three stories in this book:

"A Shiny Christmas Star" - U.S. Marshal Cole Stockton and his best friend Laura Sumner both have fitful dreams about blankets of snow and starving "little" people. When they lead a quest to find the origin of the nightmare, four people come together in this heartwarming story about the true meaning of Christmas.

"Star of Peace" - Cole has a dilemma: he can't find a suitable Christmas gift for Laura. In the meantime, a traveling medicine show advertises "the fastest and most accurate gunman in the world" - and Cole is glad to show him up. Laura has a hard time keeping track of her baked holiday goodies, and Cole discovers the peace of Christmas.

"The Greatest Gift" - Just days before Christmas, Cole is en route to Laura's ranch. Laura has visions of frozen wastelands and senses that Cole is in extreme danger. When Cole is attacked by a large cougar, both man and beast fall into an icy river, hurtling toward the falls. Cole is hurt, lost, and alone in the frozen wilds of Colorado with seemingly no means of survival...

Author Steven Douglas Glover delivers three classic stories about the faith, peace, and love that are Christmas.
